OUR TWO BEST SWEET GRAPES 
Portland—The White Sweet Grape 
Portland is the new white grape. It is hardy, productive and 
very early. Its ripening season is earlier than that of any other 
grape. Very sweet and can be eaten before It is fully ripened. 
Caco—The Sweet Red Grape 
Splendid for eating or juice. Very vigorous and hardy. Has 
stood 35 degrees below zero. It has the rich, wine red color of 
the Catawba and the hardiness of the Concord. Is a vigorous 
grower and ripens ten days to two weeks before Concord. It is 
no longer an experiment in the North Central States or the 
Farm Belt and is being grown successfully by grape growers 
along the Missouri River territory from Council Bluffs, Iowa, 
south. I recommend this grape for your home use because of 
its sweet, sugary qualities and excellent flavor. The prices for 
Portland and Caco Grapes are the same—this means that you 
can make up a quantity assortment of these two varieties 
according to your own requirements. 
Postpaid Prices for Portland and Caco: 
2 yr. 35c each; $1.50 per 5; $2.75 per 10. 
1 yr. 25c each; $1.10 per 5; $1.95 per 10. 
mGjZuckd GRAPES 
Tasty • Sweet • Hardy 
E VERY variety I offer you is hardy all throughout the Central West. They will 
thrive and do well on the poorest soil. In fact, too rich ground often produces, 
vine growth rather than fruit. Concord, Caco, Moore’s Early are varieties that 
were able to withstand record low temperatures of 35 degrees below zero this past 
season in Wyoming. They must be hardy to endure. 
For jellies, jam, juice, canning and for eating as fresh fruit there is no fruit 
that excells great, big, luscious, jucy grapes and the plants last a lifetime, come into 
bearing early and produce year after year. Plant them 8 feet apart. 
My How to Plant Book that goes free with each nursery order tells you exactly 
how to plant and care for grape vines. 
BLACK GRAPES 
CONCORD. The leader of them all. The standard bluish-black grape. Juicy, sweet, tender 
and hardy. Very productive and the most widely planted of all grapes. Excellent for 
grape juice, wine, table use, canning and market.

MOORE’S EARLY. Very early. Bunch is medium, berries very 
large. Its earliness makes it desirable for an early market, 
and it is particularly adapted to the northern portions of the 
United States. Ripens two weeks before Concord. 
WORDEN. Worden is another seedling of Concord, but is 
sweeter, larger and the fruit will ripen about ten days 
earlier than Concord. 
The Grape for the Extreme North 
BETA. Beta is a medium sized black Grape, quite acid, very 
early, prolific and healthy, and does exceptionally well far 
into Minnesota. It is a very fine Grape for jelly, grape juice 
and wine. Beta is also a splendid Grape to use in covering 
arbors. Very hardy. 
Concord 
WHITE GRAPES 
DIAMOND. Just as hardy as Concord. Very sweet and de¬ 
lightful flavor. Ripens ten days after Moore’s Early. Recom¬ 
mended as the best white Grape for planting anywhere 
Concord can be grown. 
NIAGARA. This is the standard white Grape, occupying the 
same position among the white varieties as Concord among 
the blacks. Bunch and berries large, green changing to pale 
yellow when fully ripe. Excellent for arbors.
